Long-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home a solid grade in our long-term care category, where it received a grade of B+. Facilities that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. One of the datapoints we considered on top of this facility's impressive nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.157455 percent of its patients. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for seniors. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this facility had 3.62 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as favorable as some of its other scores in this category, this figure may be skewed for some facilities due to the medical complexity of patients.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also excelled in inspections, where it earned an B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
Another reason we rated this facility so highly is that it earned an A+ nursing rating. Nursing ratings are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. With 4.7 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this place surpassed the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. For example, in terms of the percentage of its patients sustaining falls which lead to major injury, this place performed as well as any facility in the nation. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's weakest area was short-term care, which is the final category we assessed. For this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. In computing these short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well in this area. In fact, we found that just 32 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
